I am a long time aquarist--1968--starting off with a 'pair of neons' and immediately became interested in cichlids under the influence of Guy D. 'Mr. Cichlid' Jordan of ACA fame. I've always like the smaller cichlids from 6 inches and under because of behavior, and am mostly a fan of the New World or Riverine species. I also have done much with livebearers, breeding 170 species, and enjoy Cory's, anabantids, and many other types of fish as well--I like the challenge of keeping them alive and breeding them, and that is probably my main interest--satisifying the needs sufficiently to have fish breed. I also like plants and fish organizations. That's my intro for now. ---------- From: apisto@aquaria.net To: Griffiths, Richard Subject: New subscriber to the apisto@aquaria.net mailing list.
